Simon Johnson Smacks Around Tim Geithner Awfully Hard

Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner goes after Elizabeth Warren (allegedly, though who can really say), so Simon Johnson goes after Tim Geithner. Very hard.

On his blog Baseline Scenario, the M.I.T. professor and former I.M.F. official has chronicled what he sees as Mr. Geithner’s long career of failing upwards. It’s a 999-word takedown that stands as one of the most memorably brutal and bloody documents of the financial crisis.
